At Home with the Rolling Stones in 1965

Danish photographer Bent Rej met the Rolling Stones on their tour of Scandinavia and when the band toured Germany in September 1965 Rej was the only photographer they’d accept to follow them around.Rej stayed with Brian Jones at his house in Chelsea and started taking pictures. The other band members agreed to let him shoot them as well.

His favourite records were Baby Please Don’t Go by Them, Nina Simone’s
Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, Dylan’s Mr Tambourine Man by the Byrds
and anything by Otis Redding.

Open plan living was a new thing back then and Rej commented that Mick’s house had no hall.
“You go from the street right into his sitting room; the sitting room and kitchen
are in the same room. There is no dividing the two rooms just the bookshelves.”
